The glimpses that we get of how horribly frightening her life is under the oppressive rule of her sorry-ass father had me aching for her, and subsequently cheering her on for not letting him break her, as is evident of the books she would secretly read and spontaneous actions such as second-hand smoking pot. more haracter that I couldn't help but feel for her. What unfolds is a story of self-discovery and bravery, where Eve dares to grasp for freedom and hold on to it.I loved the two mcs. Review 1: I took one look at the cover and cringed, with my brain asking me if I was ready to delve into a book with such a cringe-worthy cover (yes, I can totally be judgemental and judge a book by its front cover), and I'm so happy I ignored it and went ahead because this turned out to be such a good, heart-wrenching read, filled with lots of very subtle humour.When Eve spies on the 6foot5 "gollum" buying a spot of pot from her cruel next door neighbour, an unlikely friendship blooms and blossoms between them as the gollum comes to her rescue after she trips over her Mum's garden pots and knocks herself unconscious.
